The overarching aim of this project is to develop a rigorous research plan that will examine the implementation and outcomes of California’s child care subsidy policies and practices related to payment rates and family co-payments. To achieve that aim, this project will seek to answer the following research questions: 1) As California develops its overall child care and development strategy, how do Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) subsidies fit into the landscape of other publicly-supported child care programs in the state, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) child care, Head Start, state preschool and transitional kindergarten? 2) Which key state, county and local administrative data sources can be feasibly brought together in a 1- to 3-year timeframe to advance the rigorous study of CCDF-supported subsidized child care? 3) What are the top two or three ways California can most fruitfully examine—and rigorously test—its CCDF payment and copayment policies in order to improve access and equity within its landscape of child care and development programs?
